    Pakistan vs Netherlands Pakistan vs Netherlands

    Pakistan is currently in deep trouble after losing their first two matches in the Super 12 stage. They are at the penultimate position in the Group 2 points table and need to win all their remaining games and other results to go in their favour.

    It's a little bit different in the case of the Netherlands, though. Even if they, like their opponents, lost the first two Super 12 games, they can still be proud of their accomplishments in this competition by simply reaching the Super 12.

    Pakistan Players to watch

    1 Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan's opener, has yet to produce a significant score in the competition but has been in great form throughout 2022.

    2. Haris Rauf, a fast-medium bowler with a right arm, dismissed Zimbabwe's captain on Thursday. In this format, Rauf has a strike rate of 16.7.

    Netherlands Players to watch

    1. Max O'Dowd- the right-handed opener has only scored 24 runs in the two games against Bangladesh and India, but he has hit over 100 in the two previous games against Sri Lanka and Namibia.

    2. Paul van Meekeren, 29, is a right-arm fast-medium bowler who has taken at least one wicket in his past four games. In the match against India, he dismissed KL Rahul.

    Match Prediction

    Though Pakistan may be in terrible form, the quality gap between these two sides remains significant, and in a game like this, the passionate Netherlands team may be out of its depth. As a result, Pakistan will win this game.
